Any lapband surgerys in january

I am hoping to hear from people who were banded in january, so i can compare. I had it 1/26 and still feel very sore as if pins & needles are poking me. How much food do you eat, i seem to be hungry and 1/2 cup doesn't cut it. i also have 3 shakes a day. does walking really help the healing process.

Hi, Amy..I'm Amy too and I had my Lap-Band Surgery on January 27!! We have lots in common!! I also am pretty sore, only around my port incision though and it seems to be getting a little better everyday. For breakfast I usually have a small cup of coffee and then start feeling hungry around 11:00 so I have a cup of soup..Usually chicken broth but I did have cream of mushroom the other day (without the mushrooms) and it really satisfied me. For the first time since my surgery I actually felt full! I usually have 1 protein shake a day only because I dont really like them to much. Are you on all liquids for the first 3 weeks?? This will be the longest 3 weeks of my life!!! I haven't really been walking all that much.. but I am back to work and that seems to take my mind off of other things.. It's so hard to find other people on here that have had the band..It's usually bypass, so it would be nice to hear from you. How much have you lost?? It's been 12 lbs for me so I'm pretty happy with the results!! Take care. Amy
